Privacy Policy for the License Plate Wiki App

Preamble: Our Commitment to Privacy

The protection of your data is our highest priority. The License Plate App was developed according to the "Privacy by Design" principle, which means that privacy protection was integrated into the app's architecture from the beginning. We guarantee that no personal data leaves your device or is transmitted to external servers. All functions of the app are executed exclusively locally on your device.

• No Tracking Mechanisms: The app contains no analytics tools or tracking functions
• No Advertising: No advertising networks are integrated
• No External Communication: The app does not communicate with external servers
• Full Control: You have complete control over your data at all times
